A Chronicle Of The Conquest Of Granada V2 By Fray Antonio Agapida (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428652941)

""A Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada"" is a historical account of the Spanish conquest of the city of Granada in the 15th century. Written by American author Washington Irving, this book is the second volume of the two-part series ""The Chronicles of the Conquest of Granada"". The book is based on the chronicles of Fray Antonio Agapida, a fictitious monk who was said to have witnessed the events of the conquest firsthand. The book covers the final stages of the conquest, including the siege of the Alhambra and the surrender of the last Muslim ruler of Granada. It also delves into the political and social climate of the time, as well as the religious conflicts between the Christians and the Muslims. Irving's writing style is descriptive and vivid, transporting the reader back to the 15th century and immersing them in the sights, sounds, and emotions of the era. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Spanish history, and a testament to the cultural and artistic achievements of the Islamic civilization that once flourished in Granada.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
